ASSEMBLY
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.
Screw the side grip on the tool securely.
Loading nailer
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose before loading the nailer.
Depress the latch lever and open the door. And then
open the magazine cap.
(Fig. 7)
Lift and turn the coil support plate so that the coil support
plate points the graduation of the nail length that you are
going to install.
(Fig. 8)
Notice:
An improperly positioned coil support plate may cause
poor nail feed or malfunction of the tool.
(Fig. 9)
Place the nail coil over the coil support plate. Uncoil nails
enough to reach the feed claw. Place the first nail in the
driver channel and the second nail in the feed claw.
Place other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Make sure
that the nail coil is set properly in the magazine and close
the magazine cap.
Connecting air hose (Fig. 10)
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into
position when installed onto the air fitting. A hose
coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a
way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the time
the air supply coupling is disconnected.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A HALF-PULLED
POSITION, an unexpected nailing could occur, if
contact element is allowed to re-contact against the
workpiece or the other surface under the influence of
recoil. In order to avoid this unexpected nailing,
perform as follows;
– Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
– Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1 – 2 seconds
after nailing.
• Do not operate the tool without nails. It shortens the life
of the tool.
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation.
(Fig. 11)
– Only pulling trigger without contact element
contacting workpiece must not bring about the tool
firing.
(Fig. 12)
– Only contact element contacting workpiece without
pulling trigger must not bring about the tool firing.
Driving nails (Fig. 13)
Place the contact element against the workpiece and pull
the trigger, or pull the trigger first and then place the
contact element against the workpiece.
(Fig. 14)
The first method is for intermittent nailing, when you wish
to drive a nail carefully and very accurately.
The second method is for continuous nailing.
Use of sequential trip trigger (accessory)
To drive a nail, you may place the contact element
against the workpiece and pull the trigger.
CAUTION:
• WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A HALF-PULLED
POSITION, an unexpected nailing could occur, if
contact element is allowed to re-contact against the
workpiece or the other surface under the influence of
recoil. In order to avoid this unexpected nailing,
perform as follows;
– Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
– Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1 – 2 seconds
after nailing.
Jammed nailer
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose and remove the nails
from the magazine before cleaning a jam.
(Fig. 15)
When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows:
Open the magazine cap and remove the nail coil. Insert a
small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it with a
hammer to drive out the nail jamming from the ejection
port. Reset the nail coil and close the magazine cap.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Maintenance of nailer (Fig. 16)
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required.
With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure
free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do not
use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or binds.
(Fig. 17)
When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of
time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store
the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
and/or humid or hot environment.
Maintenance of compressor, air set and air hose
(Fig. 18 & 19)
After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, it may
result in poor performance and possible tool failure.
(Fig. 20)
Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil
in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain sufficient
lubrication will cause O-rings to wear quickly.
(Fig. 21)
Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over
140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or
alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which
it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges and
areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to the
hose.
Handling nails (Fig. 22)
Handle nail coils and their box carefully. If the nail coils
have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or
their connector breaks, causing poor nail feed.
(Fig. 23)
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight.
